iterati··on Tauri – Electron alternative written in Rust
Qt + Webtech is twice as hard, though.
iterati··on Tauri – Electron alternative written in Rust
2 developers. Also, "almost exactly" is a funny oxymoron.
iterati··on US labor board official orders Amazon to redo union vote at Alabama warehouse
I don't think people want jobs. I think people NEED jobs because they need to eat and a roof over their head. That's not really a good justification for fleecing your workers and paying them as little as possible - that they'd starve without you.
iterati··on Will Nix Overtake Docker?
That compared to `RUN pip install <package>` is probably one of the things people are complaining about, no?
iterati··on Notes on Web3
None of that makes any sense. I get what an NFT is. What I want to know is how the mechanics of taking a "sword of fire" from WoW and importing it into RandomNewGame will work without the developer of RandomNewGame specifically programming it in. And if the requirement is that they program in some compatibility with the WoW sword of fire, will they not need to then also program in support for all the billions of existing and infinite yet-to-be-existing items that someone will want to import into the game? You can spin SciFi tales to a different question. I'm asking for specifics on how this ridiculous idea would work.
iterati··on Notes on Web3
I find it hard to imagine that a developer of a game is going to be happy with someone bringing something from another game into theirs. How would that even work? Does the developer need to create stats for every item that's been in any game that's existed up to that point to balance it? How would it work if the mechanic the item grants isn't even part of the game you are in?
iterati··on Notes on Web3
Yes, many users DO want (or at least do not care enough to walk away from services that abuse) their data to have all those things done to them because they get to use the service for free. The concern over use of private data is restricted to a very small subsection of the population, and the vast majority will be more than happy to keep using free services that abuse their data over paying for something with a subset of features the free option has.

It's a boundary condition error.
iterati··on Show HN: Skruv – No-dependency, no-build, small JavaScript framework
I prefer re-frame over rum, but Reagent is amazing. So little churn over the life of the library is a great accomplishment.
iterati··on Emacs 27.2
I'm curious if you've already used evil with vanilla why you'd migrate to spacemacs or doom. I've never found either to add much that a custom config can't get to easily and with more control. Maybe that's changed in the past half-decade or so since I last tried Spacemacs, though.

I'd just go back to torrenting at that price.

More like "if all the bugs die because we use too many pesticides, the systems that support life on this planet will collapse."

I'm a full-stack dev but mostly work on backend (85/15 split at my current position). I'm a hobbyist maker in my spare time and worked with the owner of a light toy company to release motion-reactive lights for ravers (https://ledgloves.com/product/uber-nano-motion-reactive-led-...).

iterati··on Ox is a fast text editor, written in Rust, that runs in your terminal
Honestly, as someone who transitioned from vim to emacs for Clojure development, I didn't find any great benefit to Doom or Spacemacs vs. reading some init.el files on github and setting up my own config. I find `use-package` to be the best package for managing and configuring the various plugins I have installed and was able to get running in an hour or so. If you're used to vim and have tried managing your own config in the past, it probably seems more daunting than it actually is.
iterati··on Vdx – An intuitive CLI for processing video, powered by FFmpeg
Maybe it was made to scratch an itch and the developer is most comfortable in JS. Why judge someone else who made something and shared it without asking for anything in return?
iterati··on GitHub CLI 1.0
Forge is great. Magit is such an enjoyable plugin already, but integration with PRs and issues takes it to the next level.
iterati··on Is Cyberpunk Dead? A Conversation with Bruce Bethke
The fantasy equivalent is talking about how their own magic systems can influence society. Brandon Sanderson's two Mistborn trilogies are good examples of this. They don't have that hook to our reality that cyberpunk does, but as a fan of both genres it does carry some of the same vibes.

This feels more "peak HN" than the previous poster as it's dripping with self-importance and condescension.
iterati··on US to ban transactions with ByteDance and WeChat in 45 days
Stop moving the goalposts. First you asked for evidence they had to hand over trade secrets and IP and now you're saying "so that's just part of trading". You are not being an adult here with your argument.

The Android app will show you how much each search result along the destination will add to your route. It also shows the gas prices if you're looking for fuel.

That's what Google's "My Maps" does. It allows you to mark up a map. I've used it for planning trips frequently to mark places of interest and then used that map to plan my trip using regular ol' Maps for the turn-by-turn.

It's immediately obvious to me how to use it now. And if you accept the default start then both solutions are still the same.

Gmaps right now works like this:

1) Open App 2) Click search box 3) Either select a destination from the list that pops up or start typing and actually search. Once that's done the route pops up with your travel time. 4) Click start

If you want to change your start:

4) Select the starting location 5) Search or select from the list that pops up and your route and travel time are show. 6) Click start

It's not rocket science. It's all obvious from the UI.

Finally? I've been searching for things along my routes since at least the 2017 Eclipse as that's the first time I can remember using the feature on my trip from BC to Oregon.

You didn't break down your steps like the parent did. Here's your way:

1) Open app 2) Search for start 3) Select start 4) Search for destination 5) Select destination 6) Click directions

Here's the parent's way:

1) Open app 2) Search destination 3) Select destination 4) Select directions 5) Search for start 6) Select start

They're the same process.

With no prior experience with lisp, I was able to get comfortable in a clojure-only codebase in less than 3 months.

Post your sources. I've seen otherwise (especially for low level drug offenses) but you're the one making the claim.
